Four days post-op -- 695cc HP overs
I'm four days post-op and feeling fine. The pain has been minimal and I've stopped taking any meds because I think they were making me feel moody and anxious. Yesterday, I was very emotional and sad for no known reason so I stopped taking anything. Today was just fine and no one at work even noticed any changes because my breasts are so tight on my chest, thanks to my sturdy, trusty (ugly) support bra. My doc has me wearing the support bra for 3 weeks with this strap over the upper pole to push them down. I've asked about icing them and using compressions but I was told not to. Any suggestions on how to help them drop/settle quicker?
In Pre-Op... It's time yall!
Got here right at 7:50am. My anesthesiologist started my IV at 8:30 and now I'm just waiting for my medications to be administered.

"Twas the Night Before Boobsmas (or más boobs en Espanol... LOL)" - BA Surgery is in the morning!
Well folks, I'm less than 10 hours away from my 695cc Sientra HP overs. Just typing that, my throat started tightening up. This whole experience and realizing that I'm going into surgery tomorrow morning feels surreal, seriously. I had lipo several years ago and I don't remember feeling this anxious. Just yesterday, it hit me just how life changing this procedure will be for me. It's not a new tattoo or piercing. It's not a dramatic new hairstyle or great tan. It's not 20lb lost and some chiseled abs (although I'd gladly that that, too). I'm getting NEW BODY PARTS, as in, my 5'9", 180lb body will NEVER look this way again. ***inhales deeply through the nose and exhales through the mouth***
And the thing is, I've always been very confident overall and I learned to deal with my small breasts by blaming them on my lifelong athleticism. But tonight I'm facing the reality that, by 10 am tomorrow, for the first time in my life, I'll be looking less athletic and more voluptuous. And THAT is blowing my mind. **grabs inhaler --- puff puff**
But I need to shower and figure out my hair situation so I'll just pause here and pick this up in the morning on the way to the facility. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who has offered advice and well-wishes. I'll add before's in the morning and after's as soon as I'm able to. Please say a prayer (or four) and feel free leave me some positive energy, especially if you've had a BA. A solid 100% of the women I've surveyed say that this is the best decision that they've made for themselves, and that I'll wish I had done it sooner, which helps me feel better.
Also, I'm so glad that i joined RealSelf, and I'm grateful for all of the brave women who create accounts and (bravely) share their insecurities and experiences with such confidence and conviction. It's both humbling and empowering, and a God-send for people like me who appreciate the honest dialogue and photos. And thank you to all of the doctors and practitioners who take the time to share their professional expertise and advice (albeit for free). Talk to you guys and gals in the morning!

The doctor and his staff have been awesome so far and I'm very excited about my procedure, just slightly apprehensive about size. I was referred by a friend who was a patient and her breasts are BEAUTIFUL, so I'm confident mine will be also.
